We stayed in a standard double room up one flight of stairs. We received a WhatsApp message before arrival giving us the necessary information to access our room. We found the accommodations comfortable, nothing fancy but more than adequate. The space was very clean, the bed comfortable and the room was quiet. We had a chair, luggage rack, wardrobe, and a hot pot with tea and coffee in the room. The bath was comfortable with plenty of hot water in the shower.
Our server for breakfast was very attentive. We wished we could speak more Italian to communicate with her. We took our breakfast in a lovely little dining room. The food was very good and typical of a European breakfast.
The location is just a couple of blocks from the cathedral and other resources. It was also a short walk to the bus stop.
Our host Giuseppe, though we never met him, was very patient and helpful with parking arrangements for our vehicle. This was a major concern for us because the hotel information made it perfectly clear that parking was not available at the B&B. Giuseppe had suggested we drop off our luggage at the B&B then drive the car to the garage. I'm not sure it's worth the effort unless you're packing enormous bags but even then, this place is hard to find by car. We weren't successful! We were given misinformation from Goggle Maps that threaded us through narrow streets (not created for present day automobiles) to a dead end with no easy way out. We did finally make it to the parking garage and easily made the short walk to the room.
The gentleman at the garage was equally helpful and the car felt safe there.
Locanda Re Ruggero is set opposite the cathedral in the historic centre of Monreale, a picturesque town on the slopes of Mount Caputo. The air-conditioned rooms all feature free Wi-Fi.

It was the best location, the balcony (we had two) were big and had a great view at the Cathedral.
It was easy to find the parking after instructions and also to take the local bus to Palermo.
Communications were smooth. Monreale is beautiful.

As our arrival was afer 10 PM (plane schedule) Francesca did wait for us to accommodate us. Also the breakfast was great, and I appreciate the traditional sweet components of Italian breakfast did not prevail. The view from the terrace is exceptional and beyond when you are having a cup of coffee there.
Providing free parking and free Wi-Fi access, B&B Elvira Al Duomo is 600 metres from Monreale Cathedral. Its classic-style rooms have air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and private bathroom.

Elvira and Santino made our stay more than welcome. Breakfast was abundant, good and fresh. Our room was big and had all the necessities needed. Parking was safe and secure in the locked up drive. Location is very near to the Duomo but the road is a bit steep. When we told Santino we were going to Palermo with our car he insisted we take the 35min bus ride and he drove us to the bus stop.....what an amazing host. Thank you Elvira and Santino.
Set 10 minutes' walk from the historical centre of Monreale, B&B Al Giardino offers rustic or elegant rooms set in a traditional Sicilian countryside villa.

This was a wonderful place to begin our tour of Sicily: the owners are extremely welcoming and helpful. They offered to drive us up to Monreale each day, and advised us on where to eat and where to go; they also provided us with a delicious breakfast each morning, including freshly squeezed orange juice, and gluten-free options for me, which I had asked for on booking.
Located 8 km from Palermo Cathedral and 9.1 km from Fontana Pretoria, Casa Margò features free WiFi and units equipped with a kitchen, balcony and seating area.

Big and extremely comfortable bed, choice of pillows, very cozy room, amazing bathroom- big, hot, super clean. Even the cosmetics in the bathroom were with a great quality. The rock elements in the room were just superb, modern but also authentic! What makes my stay really on another level was the Bluetooth speaker integrated in the ceiling - real game changer.
The host - Simona - very kind, supportive, friendly. I also liked the self check in - very easy.

Monreale is a city built on the side of the mountain, so be prepared to walk up hills and stairs! The big attraction there is the Duomo in the main square which is just beautiful in the inside as the artwork is done in gold! You will have to pay an entrance fee, but it is worth it. The streets can be a bit of challenge to navigate as there are street vendors, cars, vespas, bicycles and pedestrians all trying maneuver through the narrow streets. Monreale gives you a beautiful view of Palermo and the ocean.

We spent only an afternoon here, but so glad that we included it on our trip. The cathedral was the most beautiful we had seen on our trip to Italy - we also visited ones in Palermo, Cefalu, and Catania. There were several interesting restaurants on side streets near the town center and we found a lovely ceramic/mosaic shop just off the central square. Views were amazing and it was an easy car ride to the airport for our departure the next day.

Although you can get in the cathedral free to see the mosaics, I would suggest you get the inclusive tickets (€12) to see the Cloister, the Cathedral, the Sanctuary and get up to the roof for a fantastic view of the Cloister and the town.

For us the cathedral was the centrepiece, why we were there, and the 12th century mosaics were stunning. We also enjoyed seeing the cathedral packed with young, local families, after hundreds of years still a centre for the local community

The Duomo both inside and outside is spectacular.
The Duomo both inside and outside is spectacular. The small town itself is very picturesque as well, with some great little restaurants (e.g. Pepers and pizzeria Antica de Guillermo opposite the main entrance to the Duomo) and beautiful views of Palermo in the distance. It's a good place to stay as you avoid the pain of driving in the busy centre of Palermo. You can leave the car in Monreale and take a 20-minute bus ride into the centre for €1,40 one way. You get the bus tickets from any tobacconist.

The cathedral is breath-taking and worth a trip unto itself, but Monreale is also an ideal staging point for trips into nearby Palermo. We had great food and sight-seeing within Monreale itself and took advantage of a good bus system to spend a day in Palermo. It was easy to do and we enjoyed everything we did here.
The room was really clean and beautiful, really modern and brand new. Everything needed was present- good coffee machine and plenty of tea bags to choose from. The bathroom was really clean as well and really enjoyed the lights in the shower. Also a really cool idea to have a Bluetooth in the whole room which can play music. Location is amazing, really in the center of Monreale. The staff/owner were also helpful and quickly responding and the check in procedure was really smooth. I will definitely come back when visiting Monreale again.
Elvira’s B&B was wonderfully clean, attractive and safe. Breakfasts were delicious and the hospitality outstanding. Free parking was included
Located in Monreale, a mountain town with a famous cathedral, the sites of Palermo are easily accessible by public transportation. Monreale has good restaurants and public squares with lovely cafes. The historical center of Monreale is a short hike up the mountain.
The B&B is in a garden setting and our room had a balcony overlooking beautiful flowering plants and trees.
It is our second time staying at this place and again we cannot fault it. Emanuela looks after us exceptionally and she serves us with a fantastic breakfast spread with a good selection of home baked cakes as well as hams and delis. The B & B and rooms are very clean and comfortable. Rocca Di Monreale is an oasis in the middle of Palermo, after a day out in the hustle and bustle of the city, it is the best place to relax and recharge in a quite place with magnificent views.
Situated just steps from Monreale Cathedral, very clean and extremely comfortable bed. Paola gave us very clear information how to go to Palermo by bus, ( which we preferred instead of driving in a very busy city). She also gave us very good advice to park our car at Parcheggio Comunale, which is very close to the property. We really enjoyed our stay and if we come back in the future we will not hesitate to stay again here.
Exceptionally clean and the room smelled so fresh and sweet! There is attention to detail and no dust or anything found even on shelves. The host was friendly and breakfast DELICIOUS!!! Best cappuccino I have had in awhile. Plus it was a family room so we had enough room for all of us and we were all together. Very close to Monreale Duomo. Very easy to get to with secured parking.

Very nice accomm, really close to the beautiful monreale catedral, free parking just next to the house, impeccably clean and tidy. Very attentive host who even brought us breakfast in the morning and recommended us some reststaurants and sights. Easy communication w the host. Good restaurants 5 min away. Perfect base to explore palermo, erice, etc...
Breakfast was excellent with local specialties, fresh fruit, juices and coffee.
Location was in central Monreale beside the cathedral, couldn't be better, with an easy bus ride into central Palermo.
View from the terrace was exquisite both for sunrises and in the evening.
Lovely lady from the hotel who guided us from the main square to the hotel and the superb local police who called the hotel to ask for help (see below, what we didn't like). Excellent room which was super clean, spacious, and worth a very comfortable bed.
The property was on the outskirts of Monreale and very quiet. Parking was available on site and the owners were very gracious hosts. Our room was very comfortable with a balcony that looked out across the valley and the ocean with Palermo in the distance.
The big advantage was self-check-in, arrival possible at any time. Accommodation is in the historic center, just a few meters from the Monreale Cathedral. Amazing rooms, helpful landlady who advised us and booked a place in an excellent restaurant.
The staff was excellent and extremely friendly. They took a lot of care to make the details of their hotel catered to the guests. The breakfast was great and excellently prepared with some local foods. We will definitely be back.
The house is very authentic, well-equipped and located in a nice quite area. There is also a spacious terrace for bbq and sunbathing.
The owner is very kind and she helped us to get around Monreale and Palermo.
The owners-Manuela and her sisters—were welcoming and very helpful with any of our questions. Rooms are large.
The location is very good for going into Palermo or to Monreale.
Very spacious and comfortable appartment with great view over Palermo and walking distance to Monreale cathedral. Free parking. Very nice and helpful owner.
